Paes, considered to be one of the greatest tennis players in doubles, holds the record for the most doubles wins in the Davis Cup. He has won eight men’s doubles and ten mixed doubles Grand Slam titles. The West Bengal Chief Minister had reached Goa a day before TMC campaigns in the poll-bound state, with the hope of making its way into the BJP fortress. Earlier today, actor and activist Nafisa Ali also joined the TMC at the same event in Goa.
